ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) imposed a Dh2 million financial sanction on an exchange house operating in the UAE, pursuant to Article (137) of the Decretal Federal Law No. (14) of 2018 regarding the Central Bank and Organisation of Financial Institutions and Activities, and its amendments.
In a press release on Wednesday, the CBUAE stated that the financial sanction has been imposed after assessing the findings of an examination conducted by the CBUAE, which revealed that the exchange house failed to comply with AML/CFT policies and procedures.
The CBUAE, through its supervisory and regulatory mandates, works to ensure that all exchange houses, their owners, and staff abide by the UAE laws, regulations and standards adopted by the CBUAE to safeguard the transparency and integrity of the exchange houses industry and the UAE financial system.
